Description
Michał Northern Eurasia 19 is a modern-era autosomal admixture calculator designed to resolve fine-scale ancestry across Northern Eurasia and neighboring regions. It compares your genome to 18 contemporary reference populations—from Siberian and Arctic groups (Nganasan, Chukchi, Yakut, Nganasan, Itelmen-Koryak, Eskimo) through Uralic and Finno-Permic clusters (Khanty-Mansi, Karel-Komi, Udmurt), to Caucasus and Caucaso-Volgaic groups (Chechen2, Chechen-Kumyk, Megrel-Abkhaz), Central Asian and Turkic-influenced populations (Tajik-Bashkir, Ket-Selkup) and several East Asian and European components (Ulchi, Japanese-Chinese, Buryat, Balto-Slavic, Northwest-European).
Who it's for: this tool is for genealogists, regional historians, amateur geneticists and population geneticists seeking better resolution of Northern Eurasian ancestry. It's useful for anyone with ties to Eurasia, Arctic communities, or mixed European-Asian backgrounds who wants to understand which contemporary populations their autosomal profile most closely resembles.
What you gain: the calculator returns proportional ancestry estimates across the 18 reference clusters, highlighting likely regional affinities and admixture signals. Results can reveal Siberian/Arctic heritage, Uralic or Finno-Permic influence, Caucasus-related components, East Asian or Balto-Slavic proportions, and complex mixtures that reflect historical migrations.
Context and value: Northern Eurasia has been a crossroads for repeated migrations—Paleo-Siberian groups, Uralic expansions, Turkic and Mongolic movements, and later European contacts. By anchoring to modern, well-sampled reference groups, this calculator provides a practical, interpretable snapshot of those layers in an individual's genome. It is not a definitive record of specific ancestors, but a comparative tool that illuminates population-level relationships and helps generate hypotheses for deeper study using ancient DNA, uniparental markers, or historical records.

What is Admixture Analysis?
Admixture analysis is a method used to estimate your genetic ancestry by comparing your DNA to reference populations from around the world. Think of it as creating a recipe of your genetic makeup, where the ingredients are different ancestral populations.
This calculator uses 19 carefully selected modern populations as references, allowing for a detailed breakdown of your genetic heritage.
How It Works
Key Points
- Your DNA is compared to 19 reference populations
- Modern populations are used as references
- Results show your genetic similarity to these populations
Understanding Your Results
Your results will show percentages of genetic similarity to these reference populations. Remember:
- Results reflect genetic similarity, not direct ancestry
- Modern populations are used as references
- Percentages indicate relative genetic contribution from each population
- Results are estimates based on available reference data
